  • Dolphin

  • Nov 12, 2021

It's available online, paperback, and hardcopy this time. Hoping you’ll give it a read and a review. Here’s a synopsis: Professor William Zucker, a talented biologist from MIT, has long held a single-minded dream; to be able to talk to the smartest animal on earth besides humans … dolphins. He has pilfered and improved on all the latest AI technologies related to synthesized voice and natural language/self-learning, staking his career on achieving a goal that could lead to a Nobel Prize. The thing he and his research team forgot to figure on was ‘What if it works?’ This miscalculation will become life-threatening for him and others and take lots of creative maneuvering to close that Pandora’s box.

Ian MacGregor Ferguson was born in Glasgow, Scotland and grew up in Toronto and Montreal. A graduate Electrical Engineer, he spent his entire career in the computer field in Canada and the USA and led four international companies as COO or CEO with offices in Asia and Europe.

Ian took up writing fiction in the 90s while still at DEC (22 years in US and Canada) and has 7 fiction novels and a short story published on Amazon.

Never one to follow a conventional path, Miller broke away from a difficult childhood, leaving home to become a merchant seaman and later a hippie and activist in 1960s San Francisco. Though he had no formal education, his childhood interest in electronics provided him with a foundation in technology, and he ended up working in medical research. He was appointed as an associate professor at twenty-nine. He later transitioned from a successful medical science career to the computer industry, landing at Intel, where he co-founded Intel Capital, one of the top venture capital organizations in the world.

The Flight of a Wild Duck is rich with personal stories, told with humor and honesty, interwoven with the history of the computer industry. Throughout, Miller provides insights into the legendary industry pioneers with whom he worked, including Andy Grove, Bill Gates, and Ken Olsen. The book documents several critical events that gave rise to the personal computer, the internet, and the creation of broadband communication, in which Miller played a leading role.

Sares, Ted    (d. September 20, 2022)

Shattered

Published December, 2011, Tate Publishing & Enterprises

A Collection of True Crime and Noir Essays by Theodore Sares - Ted Sares's latest book, Shattered delves deep into lesser-known cases, like those of Chester the Molester Turner, the New Orleans Sniper, and the New Bedford Highway Killings. The bone-chilling murders and terrifying killers that Sares researches provide the backdrop for this fascinating collection of true-crime essays.

Shattered deals with many sensitive subjects and covers some incidents that occurred in the northeast. Many may resonate with New England readers. The result is a collection of essays that describe how a community's innocence can be shattered at any time and without any warming. Sares said he does not approach crime writing from the stance of one taken in by the glamorous mythos that criminals often wear like a shroud. On the contrary, he strives to strip away any lingering patina of romanticism from the aura of gangsters or killers. Indeed, it is the victims of crime whom he wants us to see in all their humanity, truth, vulnerability, and tragedy.

The book can be purchased directly through Ted at tedsares@roadrunner.com or online at Amazon.com

Ted is working on a fifth book that will deal with urban and country noir.

Upon retiring from the corporate world (Digital in 1992), Ted Sares became a boxing historian and advocate for boxing reform. Sares lives with his wife, Holly, in northern New Hampshire. See my website www.tedsares.com 

Planet Boxing is a journey to many different global locations to track the lineage of the sport and to show that, despite cultural and social differences between each country, boxing remains a common denominator throughout the world. Published June 24, 2010, CreateSpace
